Three Cardinals players to focus on during training camp for 2025 season

The lost of linebacker Kyzir White will be costly for the Cardinals, losing their green dot and team captain. Defensive coordinator Nick Rallis will have his choice in White’s success, with Wilson being the likely selection. Wilson started 16 games for Arizona last season, recording 75 tackles and three sacks. The 27-year-old knows the system and will be trusted to be the Cardinals player caller. Training camp will be Wilson’s first opportunity to play with that responsibility and sees how he handles the pressure.

2. Darius Robinson

The former 2024 first-round pick Robinson seems to be the odd man out, being behind Justin Jones on the depth chart. He’ll have plenty of opportunities to earn the starting job, but it’ll be an uphill battle. Robinson appeared in only six games in his rookie season and dealt with a calf strain that hindered his play. The former SEC defensive player of the year will need to prove his injury history isn’t what defines his career.

3. Michael Wilson

The offensive weapons is headlined by Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride and James Conner, with Wilson being the first piece outside of the Big 3. The third-year Cardinals wide receiver had 500+ receiving yards in his first two seasons, with seven touchdowns overall. However, the 6’2 wideout will need to have bigger production if Arizona’s offense wants to on par with other contenders in the NFC.

McBride and Harrison will be reliable short and medium targets for quarterback Kyler Murray, while Wilson should get his bread and butter as a deep threat. In his rookie season, the 25-year-old had 14.9 yards per reception and it fell to 11.7 last year. Wilson’s size and and athleticism should make that aspect of his game come natural in his third season.
